When Pokémon and Tarot meet, no one wins.

So, I finally decided to go along with my Pokemon Tarot idea. And boy, is it killing me. Basically, I have engaged myself in so friggin many battles with my brain as to which cards in the Major Arcana get who. But here's my final list:
0 The Fool- Ash
I The Magician (renamed Magus in my deck)- Gary
II The High Priestess- Sabrina
III The Empress- Delia
IV The Emperor- Giovanni (Originally Brock)
(DIAMONDSHIP HELL YEAH!)
V The Hierophant- Cullen (Originally Professor Oak, but then I realized he's actually pretty clueless)
VI. The Lovers- Either Butch and Cassidy or Jessie and James. I really want to go with the Neoship b/c I'm not so much of a Rocketshipper, but Jessie and James were the Lovers when I came up with the idea last summer, and they personify it much better, so I may go with them instead)
VII. The Chariot- Random Team Rocket mechs. Or the Meowth balloon.
VIII. Strength- Misty
IX. The Hermit- Jirarudan (Originally Bill, but please, there are no decent Bill screenshots out there.)
x. The Wheel of Fortune- Mew
XI. Justice- Officer Jenny
XII. The Hanged Man- Celebi (May sound odd, but since the Hanged Man is all about sacrifice, I figured it made sense, considering that Celebi died to save the twerps, as well as TR as we know it.)
XIII. Death- Domino (I'm a smidge afraid that this might continue the bad name Death has as a harbinger of doom, rather than its real meaning, change, but Domino was the only one who made sense)
XIV. Temperance- Originally Nurse Joy. Changed to Jessie for some reason, even though she's not quite a shining beacon of patience and balance.
XV. The Devil- Bishasu. Originally set to be Giovanni, but after a while, I realized that Brock didn't really personify The Emperor's archetype (authority, in a nutshell). So I kicked out Brock, put Gio in the spot for the Emperor, and replaced his place on the Devil with the only character that personifies obsession and misuse of power better than he can: Bishasu.
XVI. The Tower- Planning on having a shot of Molly, Entei, or the Tower from the third movie.
XVII. The Star- Luna
XIII. The Moon- Umbreon
XIX. The Sun- Espeon
XX. Judgment- Furura
XXI. The World- Lance

And I ask myself, WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DO I DRAG MYSELF INTO THESE THINGS?
I'll probably post them on my upcoming webpage when I'm done.

I vote for Jesse and James as the Lovers.

And Nurse Joy probably does make more sense for Temperance.

Well since no other character really is the shining beacon of patience.....

CASSIDY AND BUTCH! CASSIDY AND BUTCH!!! *practically dies*
